Abstract
Description
本発明は、膀胱癌診断のための腫瘍マーカーおよび膀胱癌の診断用試薬に関する。 The present invention relates to a tumor marker for diagnosing bladder cancer and a reagent for diagnosing bladder cancer.
膀胱癌の初発症状は無症候性血尿で認められることが多く、診断法として主に尿細胞診、膀胱鏡検査が行われている。尿細胞診は進行性癌や低分化癌の検出率は良好であるが、表在性癌や高分化癌での有効性は満足のいくのもではない。一方、膀胱鏡検査は進行癌のみではなく、表在性癌や高分化癌の検出にも優れ確定診断に重要である反面、侵襲度が高く、身体負担を伴う検査である。また、表在性癌は高率に再発をきたし、治療後も定期的な膀胱鏡検査を含む経過観察が必要となる。さらに、進行性膀胱癌では特異的マーカーは存在せず、従来通り画像診断により経過観察が行われているのが現状である。近年、膀胱癌に対する尿中腫瘍マーカーとしてＢＴＡ (ｂｌａｄｄｅｒ ｔｕｍｏｒ ａｎｔｉｇｅｎ) やＮＭＰ２２ (ｎｕｃｌｅａｒ ｍａｔｒｉｘ ｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ ２２) が用いられるようになったが、表在性癌の検出に用いられるのみであり、また、尿細胞診の診断率を超える有効性は認められておらず、膀胱癌に対する種々の新規腫瘍マーカーの開発が望まれている。 The initial symptoms of bladder cancer are often observed in asymptomatic hematuria, and urine cytology and cystoscopy are mainly performed as diagnostic methods. Urine cytodiagnosis has a good detection rate for advanced cancer and poorly differentiated cancer, but the effectiveness in superficial cancer and well differentiated cancer is not satisfactory. On the other hand, cystoscopy is not only advanced cancer but also excellent for detection of superficial cancer and well-differentiated cancer, and is important for definitive diagnosis. However, it is highly invasive and involves physical burden. Superficial cancers relapse at a high rate, and follow-up including regular cystoscopy is required after treatment. Furthermore, there is no specific marker in advanced bladder cancer, and the current situation is that follow-up is performed by image diagnosis as usual. In recent years, BTA (bladder tumor antigen) or NMP22 (nuclear matrix protein 22) has been used as a urinary tumor marker for bladder cancer, but it is only used for detection of superficial cancer, and urine cells Effectiveness exceeding the diagnostic rate of diagnosis is not recognized, and development of various new tumor markers for bladder cancer is desired.
本発明は、プロテオーム解析技術を用いて尿、血清と組織と多角的にアプローチして、膀胱癌に対する新規腫瘍マーカーを探索することにより、有効な膀胱癌の診断方法を提供することを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to provide an effective method for diagnosing bladder cancer by probing urine, serum, and tissue from various angles using proteome analysis technology and searching for a novel tumor marker for bladder cancer. .
本発明者らは、膀胱癌に対する新規腫瘍マーカーの探索において、一般的なプロテオーム解析に用いられている二次元電気泳動（ｔｗｏ−ｄｉｍｅｎｓｉｏｎａｌ ｇｅｌ ｅｌｅｃｔｒｏｐｈｏｒｅｓｉｓ, ２−ＤＥ）法ではなく、一次元目の等電点電気泳動（ｉｓｏ ｅｌｅｃｔｒｉｃ ｆｏｃｕｓｉｎｇ, ＩＥＦ）にアガロースゲルを用いる二次元電気泳動法、すなわち、アガロース二次元電気泳動（アガロース２−ＤＥ）法を用いた。この手法を用いることにより、従来困難であった微量にしか存在しない蛋白質や高分子量タンパク質の解析が可能となり、その結果、Ｇｅｎｅ Ｂａｎｋ データベースに登録された蛋白質の中から新たに膀胱癌のマーカーとなるポリペプチドを見出すことができた。本発明は、かかる研究成果に基づきなされたものである。 In the search for a novel tumor marker for bladder cancer, the present inventors do not use the two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) method used for general proteome analysis, but the first dimension etc. A two-dimensional electrophoresis method using an agarose gel for isoelectric focusing (IEF), that is, an agarose two-dimensional electrophoresis (agarose 2-DE) method was used. By using this method, it is possible to analyze proteins and high molecular weight proteins that were present only in trace amounts, which has been difficult in the past, and as a result, it becomes a new bladder cancer marker from proteins registered in the Gene Bank database. The polypeptide could be found. The present invention has been made based on such research results.

これらのポリペプチドが膀胱癌の腫瘍マーカーであることは以下のようにして本発明者らにより確認された。
（１）膀胱移行上皮癌１０例において膀胱癌組織および膀胱正常組織を採取し、これよりタンパク質抽出液を調製した。
（２）アガロース二次元電気泳動（アガロース２−ＤＥ) 法により、これまで解析されていない高分子領域 (９７．４ｋＤａ以上) のタンパク質について、膀胱癌組織と膀胱正常組織における発現を二次元電気泳動パターンにおいて比較した。最も違いの見られた１例における癌組織と正常組織の高分子領域に認められたタンパク質スポット (図１参照) をすべて切り出し、質量分析により同定した。同定されたタンパク質を比較し、癌部にのみ同定されたタンパク質を文献により詳細に検討した結果、後出の表１に示す７種類のタンパク質を膀胱癌の新規腫瘍マーカー候補とした。
（３）上記で腫瘍マーカー候補とした７種類のタンパク質について、膀胱癌組織１０例と膀胱正常組織１０例における発現量を比較検討した。具体的には、各タンパク質に対する抗体を用意し、ウエスタンブロッティング法による確認実験を行い、これらの７種類のタンパク質について膀胱癌組織における発現の増加が確認された (図３Ａ）。
It was confirmed by the present inventors that these polypeptides are tumor markers for bladder cancer as follows.
(1) Bladder cancer tissue and normal bladder tissue were collected from 10 cases of bladder transitional cell carcinoma, and a protein extract was prepared therefrom.
(2) Two-dimensional electrophoresis of protein in the high molecular region (97.4 kDa or more) that has not been analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis using agarose two-dimensional electrophoresis (agarose 2-DE) method. The patterns were compared. All protein spots (see FIG. 1) found in the polymer region of cancer tissue and normal tissue in one case where the most difference was found were cut out and identified by mass spectrometry. As a result of comparing the identified proteins and examining in detail the proteins identified only in the cancer part, the following seven proteins shown in Table 1 were used as novel tumor marker candidates for bladder cancer.
(3) The expression levels in 10 cases of bladder cancer tissue and 10 cases of normal bladder tissue were compared and examined for the 7 types of proteins used as tumor marker candidates. Specifically, antibodies against each protein were prepared, and confirmation experiments were conducted by Western blotting, and increased expression in bladder cancer tissues was confirmed for these seven types of proteins (FIG. 3A).
また、膀胱癌患者尿と健常者尿での尿中タンパク質存在量を比較すると、ｓｔｒｕｃｔｕｒａ ｍａｉｎｔｅｎａｃｅ ｏｆ ｃｈｒｏｍｏｓｏｍｅｓ ｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ ３ （ＳＭＣ3)が増加していることが判明した (図３Ｃ）。
さらに、現在確立されている６種類の膀胱癌細胞株（ＲＴ４, ５６３７, Ｔ２４, ＥＪ, ＭＴＢ２, ＴＣＣＳＵＰ）においてマーカー候補タンパク質の発現を検討した結果、上記７種類のタンパク質の発現が確認された。
（４）上記ウエスタンブロッティング法により癌組織において有意に発現量の増加が確認されたタンパク質について、免疫化学染色により発現の確認を行った（図４）。７種類のタンパク質全てが癌組織で高発現していることを確認した。
Moreover, when the amount of protein in the urine was compared between the urine of the bladder cancer patient and the urine of the healthy subject, it was found that the structure maintenance of chromosomes protein 3 (SMC3) was increased (FIG. 3C).
Furthermore, as a result of examining the expression of marker candidate proteins in 6 types of currently established bladder cancer cell lines (RT4, 5637, T24, EJ, MTB2, and TCCSUP), the expression of the above 7 types of proteins was confirmed.
(4) The expression of the protein whose expression level was significantly increased in the cancer tissue by the Western blotting method was confirmed by immunochemical staining (FIG. 4). It was confirmed that all seven proteins were highly expressed in cancer tissues.
以上のように、表１に示す７種類のタンパク質、即ち、Ｎｕｅｒｏｂｌａｓｔ ｄｉｆｆｅｒｅｎｔｉａｔｉｏｎ−ａｓｓｏｃｉａｔｅｄ ｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ（ＡＨＮＡＫ）、Ｐｌｅｃｔｉｎ １、Ｅｐｉｐｌａｋｉｎ、Ｅｕｋａｒｙｏｔｉｃ ｔｒａｎｓｌａｔｉｏｎ ｉｎｉｔｉａｔｉｏｎ ｆａｃｔｏｒ ３ ｓｕｂｕｎｉｔ １０（ＥＩＦ３）、Ｖｉｇｉｌｉｎ、Ｓｔｒｕｃｔｕｒａｌ ｍａｉｎｔｅｎａｎｃｅ ｏｆ ｃｈｒｏｍｏｓｏｍｅｓ ｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ ３（ＳＭＣ３）、Ｒａｓ ＧＴＰａｓｅ−ａｃｔｉｖａｔｉｎｇ−ｌｉｋｅ ｐｒｏｔｅｉｎ（ＩＱＧＡＰ１）が癌組織中において発現が増加しているので、これらのタンパク質は膀胱癌に対する腫瘍マーカーとなりうる。これらのタンパク質は、タンパク質データベースであるＵｎｉＰｒｏｔＫＢ／Ｓｗｉｓｓ Ｐｒｏｔにそれぞれ、アクセッシション番号Ｑ０９６６６、Ｑ１５１４９、Ｐ５８１０７、Ｑ１４１５２、Ｑ００３４１、Ｑ９ＵＱＥ７、Ｐ４６９４０として登録されており、アミノ酸配列は、それぞれ配列番号１〜７に示す通りである。これらのタンパク質と膀胱癌との関連はこれまで全く知られておらず、本発明者らによって初めて見出されたものである。
腫瘍マーカーとしての使用
配列番号１〜７のいずれかに示すアミノ酸配列を有するポリペプチド、配列番号１〜７のいずれかに示すアミノ酸配列と実質的に同じアミノ酸配列を有するポリペプチド、またはこれらのポリペプチドの部分配列を有するポリペプチドは、腫瘍マーカーとして膀胱癌の診断に用いることができる。本願明細書において、腫瘍マーカーとしての使用とは以下のような態様を含む。

This program compares the MS spectrum and MS / MS spectrum obtained by measurement with the MS spectrum and MS / MS spectrum obtained by theoretically enzymatically digesting each protein on the database. As a result, a protein having a high degree of matching is selected, and a score (Score) of the degree of matching is given according to the possibility. In this study, proteins with a score of 70 or more were identified as proteins. Moreover, when Score was less than 70, it was determined that two or more highly reliable MS / MS spectra were observed and determined to be identified. This criterion is more than a general mass spectrometer identification criterion and is sufficiently reliable.

That is, the expression level of high molecular weight protein in normal bladder mucosa obtained from the same person as 10 cases of bladder cancer tissue was compared using 6-10% gradient gel. The obtained two-dimensional electrophoresis pattern was greatly different between cancer and normal part. Therefore, all the protein spots observed in the high molecular area (97.4 kDa or more) in the cancerous part and normal mucosa of one case (TCC, pT2, Grade ii) in which the difference was most recognized were cut out and identified (FIG. 1). . 73 spots were extracted from the cancer area, 56 spots and 53 types of proteins were identified, and 48 spots were extracted from the normal mucosa, 34 spots and 33 types of proteins were identified. As a result of comparing the identified proteins and examining in detail the proteins identified only in the cancerous part, seven types of proteins shown in Table 1 were used as novel tumor marker candidates.

Confirmation by immunohistochemical staining Proteins whose expression level was significantly increased in cancer tissues by Western blotting were examined by immunohistochemical staining. A normal tissue of a human bladder and a tissue array of the affected part (Folio Biosciences, Columbia, OH, USA) were heated at 55 ° C. for 20 minutes in a thermostatic chamber. The specimen was deparaffinized, the section was immersed in 0.01 M citrate buffer (pH 6.0), and subjected to microwave treatment for 3 minutes for 5 minutes to activate antigenicity. Thereafter, the cells were left in 3% hydrogen peroxide solution for 10 minutes to block endogenous peroxidase and washed with PBS (containing Tween 20). Subsequently, normal goat serum (Vector Laboratories Inc., USA, 1:20) was added dropwise and allowed to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, followed by anti-AHNAK antibody (ABNOVA, Thaipei, Thaiwan, 1: 1000), anti-SMC3 antibody (CELL Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA, 1: 400), anti-Plectin-1 antibody (Bender MedSystems, Vienna, Austria, 1: 200), anti-IQGAP1 antibody (BD Bioscience, FrankinP, anti-LinklinLampinLampinL) An EIF-3 antibody and an anti-Vigilin antibody were dropped onto the section and reacted at 4 ° C. overnight (16 hours). After washing with PBS (containing Tween 20), Dako Chemmate ENVISION kit / HRP (DAB) polymer reagent (Dako Cytomation, Denmark) was dropped onto the section and reacted at room temperature for 30 minutes.
After washing with PBS, a Stable DAB (Pharmacia, Tokyo) solution was dropped on the section, color was developed for 3 minutes, and nuclear staining was performed with Mayer's hematoxylin solution (Wako, Osaka), followed by dehydration, penetration, and encapsulation.
(result)
A confirmation experiment by immunohistochemical staining was performed using a tissue microarray (Folio Biosciences, Columbias, OH, USA). Seven proteins, vigilin, epiplatin, EIF-3, IQGAP1, SMC3, AHNAK and plectin-1, were examined. As a result, it was confirmed in FIG. 4 that all seven proteins were expressed in bladder cancer tissue.
ＳＭＣ３を腫瘍マーカーとして用いた膀胱癌診断
（１）ＳＭＣ３抗体による膀胱正常組織と膀胱癌部の免疫組織化学染色
図５に示す結果から明らかなように、正常組織における移行上皮細胞の核はほとんどＳＭＣ３に対し染色されていないが、癌細胞の核はＳＭＣ３に対し濃染されており、癌細胞においてＳＭＣ３の発現が有意に上昇していることを確認した。
（２）尿細胞診における利用
尿細胞診は、尿中に存在する細胞片等を遠心分離して集め、腫瘍細胞をＰａｐａｎｉｃｏｌａｕ染色により判定する腫瘍診断法の一つである。通常、ＣｌａｓｓＶ、ＣｌａｓｓＩＶは陽性、ＣｌａｓｓＩ、ＣｌａｓｓＩＩは陰性と判断される。ただし尿細胞診のみでは膀胱癌と診断できない。
Diagnosis of bladder cancer using SMC3 as a tumor marker (1) Immunohistochemical staining of bladder normal tissue and bladder cancer site with SMC3 antibody As is clear from the results shown in FIG. 5, the nucleus of transitional epithelial cells in normal tissue is almost SMC3 However, it was confirmed that the nuclei of cancer cells were intensely stained for SMC3 and that the expression of SMC3 was significantly increased in the cancer cells.
(2) Use in urine cytology
Urine cytodiagnosis is one of the tumor diagnostic methods in which cell fragments and the like present in urine are collected by centrifugation, and tumor cells are determined by Papanicolau staining. Usually, Class V and Class IV are judged positive, and Class I and Class II are judged negative. However, bladder cancer cannot be diagnosed by urine cytology alone.
本実施例では、通常の尿細胞診（ｐａｐａｎｉｃｏｌａｕ染色）においてＣｌａｓｓＶが得られ、膀胱癌として診断された患者尿を用い、ＳＭＣ３による尿細胞診を行う。抗ＳＭＣ３抗体を用いた免疫組織化学染色の結果、全体の約７０％以上の異型細胞の核がＳＭＣ３に対し濃染された（図６、矢印は濃染した核を示す）。ＣｌａｓｓＩＩ症例においても異型細胞の核がＳＭＣ３に対し濃染していた（ｄａｔａ ｎｏｔ ｓｈｏｗｎ）。従って、尿細胞診において、ＳＭＣ３は膀胱癌診断のための有用なマーカーとなりうる。
（３）尿中のＳＭＣ３の定量
１．Ｐａｐａｎｉｃｏｌａｕ染色における尿細胞診でｃｌａｓｓＶである１０例、２．膀胱癌患者であるが、尿細胞診においては ｃｌａｓｓＩＩであった１０例、３．健常者尿（非膀胱癌患者尿）１０例の計３０例で、尿中ＳＭＣ３の存在量をウエスターンブロット法にて比較検討した。ｃｌａｓｓＶの症例においては、９例で尿中ＳＭＣ３の存在量の増加が認められた。また、尿細胞診ではｃｌａｓｓＩＩで正常と判断された症例については、４例において、ＳＭＣ３の存在量が健常者尿に比較して増加していた（図７）。このことより膀胱癌診断において尿中ＳＭＣ３を定量することは、尿細胞診の診断率を超える可能性が示唆された。
In this example, Class V is obtained in normal urine cytodiagnosis (papanicolau staining), and urine cytology by SMC3 is performed using patient urine diagnosed as bladder cancer. As a result of immunohistochemical staining using an anti-SMC3 antibody, about 70% or more of the nuclei of atypical cells were darkly stained for SMC3 (FIG. 6, arrows indicate darkly stained nuclei). Also in Class II cases, the nuclei of atypical cells were intensely stained for SMC3 (data not shown). Therefore, SMC3 can be a useful marker for bladder cancer diagnosis in urine cytology.
